Shop and buy Sheffield Barlow Pocket Knives

This Barlow folding knife was designed over 300 years ago in Sheffield, England and was originally a large, single blade, low cost folding work tool knife. The metal handle bolster was extended to approximately one third of the length of the handle to strengthen the pivot. The knife was exported to America and Mark Twain refers to a Barlow knife in his 1876 novel 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer'.
